Blood drive a success

November 4, 2010

The annual Iowa Lakes Community College Blood Drive was held on Tuesday, Oct. 26, 2010, sponsored by the Aviation Club at the Christensen Center. It was a great success thanks to the devoted Red Cross staff, the ILCC students and the ILCC cafeteria staff for providing those delicious cookies. Sorry about no coffee I forgot to order it. Won't happen again!

We were pleased to award MaryAnn Breiner her 1-gallon pin and Lori Keeler her 2-gallon pin. We had quite a few new donors at this drive: Sally Bohmer, Kay Graber, Austin Swalve, John Keck, Jill Clark, Matt Newquist, Ross Woodholz, Ross Hildebrand, Paul Kuerbitz, Amber Evans, Brandon Elliott, Robert Mason, Karen Payne and SueEllen Madison. All, I believe, ILCC students. Way to go!

The next Red Cross Blood Drive is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 10, 2011, and sponsored by the Catholic Daughters, so you know there will be great goodies. Thank you to all who volunteers (RSVP), and donated. It is communities like Estherville and Emmet County that allow the American Red Cross to continue their necessary work.
